40' Custom Pilot House Cutter

Kattegat is a 40 foot Custom Pilothouse Cutter Sailboat built in 1992 by the DeKleer brothers in Richmond Canada. She provides space and comfort while at the dock or in a secluded anchorage or she can take you anywhere in the world with confidence, comfort and style.

Kattegat is a well maintained example of an ocean-going Pilothouse vessel with a Loyds of London certificate for her pro-build design and sturdiness. The generous water and fuel tanks (200 gallons of each) and generous sail area offer flexibility in offshore capability as a true-blue water cruiser. The Spectra Cape Horn Ventura watermaker will keep a steady supply of fresh water at sea with a rating of 8 gallons per hour.
